Michael J. Sullivan, the author of the Riyria Revelations series asked me if I would spread word about a free promotion from October 16th to October 18th 2012. As I like the series a lot I agreed to do that.

TWO SHORTS & TWO SAMPLES -
FREE OCT 16 - OCT 18
In August 2013 the release of The Crown
Tower will mark the publication of my second series. To celebrate the
recent announcement, I'm expanding the bonus material for Greener Grass
and making it free from October 16 - October 18. This file will contains
the following:

Greener Grass (science fiction short)
The
Viscount and the Witch (Riyria Chronical short)
Chapter one of Theft
of Swords (Riyria Revelations)
Chapter one of The Crown Tower
(Riyria Chronicles)

Greener Grass (5,600 words)
HE
WANTED TO ESCAPE HIS PROBLEMS. HE WANTED TO SEE THE FUTURE. HE NEVER
CONSIDERED WHAT THE FUTURE WANTED.
Confronted with suffering a
painful death from cancer, Dan Sturges, a retired Ford’s engineer,
foregoes treatments to try an idea of his own. After reading a
theoretical article in Scientific American on time displacement, Dan
builds a time machine in his garage. With nothing to lose but a few
months of pain, Dan pins his hopes on a future where cancer might have
been cured, or at least a quicker death by electrocution. How could he
have known that what happens after he presses the button is more
shocking than the eighteen car batteries he connected himself to?

The
Viscount and the Witch (5,400 words)
HE WANTED TO TEACH HIS
FRIEND A LESSON. HE BELIEVES NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED. MAYBE HE WAS
WRONG.
Eleven years before they were framed for the murder of a
king, before even assuming the title of Riyria, Royce Melborn and
Hadrian Blackwater were practically strangers. Unlikely associates, this
cynical thief and idealist swordsman, were just learning how to work
together as a team, and discovering which philosophy is the best to
follow.

Theft of Swords (Riyria Revelations Sample
Chapter)
THEY KILLED THE KING. THEY PINNED IT ON TWO MEN.
THEY CHOSE POORLY.
There’s no ancient evil to defeat or orphan
destined for greatness, just two guys in the wrong place at the wrong
time. Royce Melborn, a skilled thief, and his mercenary partner, Hadrian
Blackwater, are running for their lives when they’re framed for the
death of the king. Trapped in a conspiracy that goes beyond the
overthrow of a tiny kingdom, their only hope is unraveling an ancient
mystery before it’s too late.

The Crown Tower (Riyria
Chronicles Sample Chapter)
TWO MEN WHO HATE EACH OTHER. ONE
IMPOSSIBLE MISSION. A LEGEND IN THE MAKING.
A warrior with nothing to
fight for is paired with a thieving assassin with nothing to lose.
Together they must steal a treasure that no one can reach. The Crown
Tower is the impregnable remains of the grandest fortress ever built and
home to the realm’s most valuable possessions. But it isn’t gold or
jewels the old wizard is after, and this prize can only be obtained by
the combined talents of two remarkable men. Now if Arcadias can just
keep Hadrian and Royce from killing each other, they just might succeed.

I read The Viscount and the Witch before I started to read the Riyria Revelations series and wrote on GOODREADS:"
Absolutely
mouth watering, promising, charming. It seems I "met" two new comrades."So have a try ....
